Chapter 61
We already set everything in our lives.I also settled Millie’s situation so I am kinda relieved that Enver’s parents would not just show up in front of her.That is why I decided to focus on my job at Raiden.And when I arrived at work, I was greeted by the expansion project of the Raiden.“Is this serious?” I asked Enver after I saw Lucien’s proposal. “Our partnership with Anox was just getting started but you are already deciding about this.”He sighed. “Adding another branch was not really in my plan before but because of the result of the partnership, the existing shop of Raiden couldn’t accommodate every client that visits our shop.”“Every shop is getting crowded and the supposed spots for other car brands that also have a partnership with Raiden were taken by Anox,” Lucien added. “If it continues, our partnership with them might get damaged because we are too focused on Anox.”Anox has great promotions when it comes to its partner dealers. Ferry also promotes Raiden at Arch Fe

Enver immediately went and talked to the owner of the target land where they want to build the next branch of Raiden. He made sure that the owner would really sell it to us and when they had an agreement, they made the contract.After that, they signed it and gave the pull payment. He also personally took care of the title and transferred all of its documents under my name, especially the taxes papers for it.And when he finally got everything, they immediately started the construction of the building for the fourth branch of Raiden.He made Mikea take care of everything since he was busy with a lot of papers that he needed to sign.“You really rushed this one, huh?” I shook my head while looking at the title that he just bought. I thought we will have to wait for at least six months to get this but it only takes three months. “You really made sure of everything.”“Of course.” He looked at me and smiled. “I was afraid that you might take back your words so I made them rush the process

“Mommy!” Millie greeted me with a hug as soon as she saw me outside her school. “What are you doing here?”After my meeting with Engineer Lucas, I drove straight here to pick her up, just as I planned. “I promised to cook for you and Reid today, right? So I clocked out earlier today than usual.”“Hello, Mrs. Andrius,” Reid greeted me with a smile.I laughed. “You are still too formal, Reid. You can just call me Aunty, okay?”His cheeks blushed and turned away his glance but nodded in response.“Anyway, aside from picking the two of you up, I intended to meet Reid’s parents.”They suddenly turned their heads on me and stared at me. There was a hint of worry in their eyes, then they looked at each other.“What is it, kids?” I asked.“Mom…” Millie held my hand. “Reid’s mother is very mean. Especially to the people she doesn’t like.”“And you are saying that because?”Reid sighed and looked at me. “My mom doesn’t want me to associate with people outside our circle. And since she met Milli

Chapter 64
We hired a lot of new sales associates and that helped us with the overwhelming amount of customers in the shop. And because of that, we finally had a space to breathe after handling a lot of workload these past few months.To make up for everyone with the massive workload that we even required them to take overtime every day, we scheduled two-day and one-night company outings.It was a sudden decision that is why we chose to hold our vacation in a nearby resort. It is within the city and Enver said that it was owned by one of his friends. He was the one who took care of our room reservation, together with the cottage and restaurants.And I took care of the bus that everyone rides to the location. Of course, this vacation is not only for our employees. We included everyone’s family to be with this vacation to make up for the busy schedule we had before.“Yah!” Mikea shouted as we arrived at the resort. “I can finally have a day to relax.”“Are you sure it is okay for us to be here?”

Everyone settled into their room and since our event will be held later before dinner, we let them do what they want for their free time.Enver and I, together with our friends, decided to stay in the front restaurant of the hotel not far from the seaside. We can see Millie and Reid from here happily playing around with the other kids there.“We finally had time together.” Enver put his arms around my waist and pulled me towards him, then he put his chin on my shoulder. “We should have done this earlier.”“We are too busy with our job these past months because of the good feedback we got since the partnership we had with Anox and the launch of our new payment method,” I said. “So this kind of leisure time only comes right on time.” I sighed. “I am just glad that we managed to do something to organize the arrival of our new client before the opening of the fourth branch of Raiden.”Aside from sales associates, we also hired a lot of sales agents and we set up some displays in different

“Dash!” My eyes widened when I bumped into Dashiel in the elevator. “What are you doing here? I thought you had a meeting?”I invited him to this vacation but at the last minute, he said he couldn’t come because he had an urgent meeting that he needed to attend.But from what I can see, he just arrived here since his luggage was still with him.He scratched his head and sighed. “I managed to finish my meeting so I could join you,” he said. “This rarely happens so I don’t want to miss it.”“You should have told us,” I said. “I thought you would never make it so Castiel took the room that I reserved for you.”He smiled and messed up my hair. “It is okay, Milan. I already got my reservation ahead of time because I really have plans to come late. I just didn’t mention it to you so you won’t expect it in case I couldn’t finish my job.”I stared at him.These past few days, I noticed that there was something wrong with his mood. He looked like he had some problem but he didn’t want us to wo

I left Millie under Ferry and Castiel’s care since she was still sleeping and we went to the restaurant located at the side of the hotel. As far as I know, this is the only place in the entire resort that doesn’t have a lot of people so I suggested it to Amethyst.When we arrived, we saw her sitting in the corner, where people wouldn't notice her.She smiled as soon as we got near her and stood up. “I am sorry for making you go all the way here because of my sudden reaction earlier.”I shook my head. “It is okay.” We sat in front of her. “You don’t have friends, right? Aside from the parents of your husband and your family, Enver was the only one who believed that you didn't know anything about the disappearance of your husband.”She was stunned. “H-how did you know?”I avoided her eyes and put my chin in my hand. “I just know it,” I said. “Anyway, the two of you can catch up. I won’t intervene and you don’t have to mind me. You can pretend that I am not here.”“Mi…”I looked at them

We stayed at the restaurant for just an hour. We just talked about other things about us and our plans and after that, we decided to go back to where our friends were.Amethyst decided to go back to her office since she still had some things that needed to be done for the day. She was just on her break and she didn’t want to spoil our vacation here but she promised to visit us soon.I don’t mind because after talking to her, the awkwardness around us slowly disappeared. I guess, I just really need to get to know her more.“I learned something.” Castiel showed her phone in front of me. “That Amethyst girl was bullied in social media and her previous work. They branded her as a husband killer when she became a suspect in its disappearance.”“Seriously?” Enver raised his eyebrows at us. “If you want to know anything about Amy, you can just ask me, Cas. She already told me everything about that.”Castiel turned to my husband. “Please don’t look at it in the wrong way, En. I am not doing t

Enver lifted me and laid me down in our bed. He said that I should just rest and stopped me from going back downstairs since Millie would surely be okay together with Ferry and Castiel.I didn’t complain because I know that I really need some time to rest. I almost passed out earlier because of my headache and I can’t just ignore it.“Are you sure you are okay?” Enver asked after giving me a glass of water. “We can go to the resort’s infirmary.”I shook my head and drank the water before giving it back to him. “I just need a few minutes rest and I will be perfectly fine.”He sighed and sat beside me. “I am sorry for bringing it up. I didn’t expect that this would happen to you.”“It is okay,” I assure him. “You have the right to know about this because it is part of my past. I just can’t really tell it to you in detail because I keep getting a headache from trying to remember everything.”“Don’t worry about that, Mi.” He caressed my cheeks. “Just rest.”“If you want to know the detail

After a while, we decided to go back to Millie and our friends. I am already feeling alright so I think we can’t let this vacation go to waste just because of me.Millie immediately approached us as soon as she saw us. She ambushed us with a tight hug and I know that it is her way of saying that she is worried about me.So, I gave her a lot of kisses to let her know that I was okay.Enver lifted her and brought her to the seaside and played with the other kids and guys there. And I went to Ferry and Castiel who were only sitting in the sun lounge.“Did you tell him everything?” Ferry asked me.I sat beside them and shook my head. “I just told him the minor details.” I fixed my eyes on Enver and Millie while playing in the sea. “Not that I don’t want to tell him but my headache keeps attacking me whenever I dive too deep into my memories of that incident.” I sighed and turned my head to them. “And because of that, he stopped asking and didn’t force me to say anything else. So, I just s
